Intel Core i5-10400 Gets Benchmarked and tested, much faster SMT over Core i5 9400
Processors like these could be good gaming CPUs, and yes once again in Asia on the ChipHell forums a leak occurred. This round the Core i5-10400 processor (6c/12t) listed for USD $184indicates it could be a sweet spot mid-range product.
Its predecessors are the Core i5-9400F and the i5-8400. Core i5-10400 comes with 6-cores/12-threads and has 12 MB of shared L3 cache with a base clock of 2.90 GHz and a turbo to 4.30 GHz.
Tested on an MSI MAG Z490 Tomahawk the results have been compared with an i5-9400F with Cinebench R15 and R20, CPU-Z and SuperPi. The processor posts is merely 2-5% faster in a single-threaded test. With multi-threaded tests, the i5-10400 starts to shine thanks to HyperThreading and is yielding a ~40% performance increase in CPU-Z bench multi-threaded; with similar results in Cinebench R20. The results show that the processor is in close reach of the Ryzen 5 3600X in multi-threaded Cinebench tests.

It draws <65W max. It's literally coded that way. When it reaches or goes over that it throttles the clock down to stay =<65W.
Stop making s*it up.
Lol, no, I can assure you it will draw a lot more than that.
TDP, expecially for INTEL (but also for AMD) has very little to do with the actual power draw.

I would not call base TDP of 65W much. Look at the CPU package temps of 59C - in the AIDA FPU Stresss test.. I wonder what kind of cooler they used for it.
I am more interested in 10700K results and comparisons to 9700K, 3700X and 3800X.

I don't get why people trust corporations so much. This is not the same CPU, but every business is to a certain degree filled with BS.

Even 10900F overclocked seems identical to 10900K. Intel has no hope against zen 3.

. This round the Core i5-10400 processor (6c/12t) listed for USD $184indicates it could be a sweet spot mid-range product. Copy pasted from the article ... honestly at 280 would have been dead on arrival with the price 3600 and x go but at 184 seems really competitive

Looking great so far.
If priced right, the i5 K version could be again best bang for gaming.
